East Side Youth

Trips

ISYC/365

At the Indiana State Youth Convention we gather with other teens from all over the state in Indianapolis for a weekend filled with worship, truth from God’s Word, late nights in a nice hotel, and more. This event is open to all 7th-12th graders.

Discipleship Retreat

This event is designed to be a time for students to go deeper in their faith. Sometimes we stay in Anderson for a D-Now weekend. Other times we get away at a camp for a Winter Retreat. This event is open to all 7th-12th graders.

Summer Missions Trips/IYC

Every year we offer an opportunity to serve during the summer. On even numbered years, we combine an in-country missions experience with the Church of God International Youth Convention. On the alternate years, we offer an overseas mission trip. Each of these experiences is designed for 8th-12th grade grads. Some years we offer an additional summer trip for middle school only, and other years we’ll do a combined mission trip in-country for all 7th-12th grades.

Project 765

This is a one-day experience, generally in the summer, where our group combines with other local youth groups to serve the city of Anderson.

Summer camps

Each summer two Church of God camps offer a week of camp for middle school and high school students. We encourage students to check these out. It is a great way to get to know and worship with teens from around the state. Check out www.gocampchallenge.org and www.yclministries.org for more information.
